It is a cumulative course of study with a range of technical and musical challenges for developing musicians. One addition to be found across all instruments in this syllabus is the inclusion of new sight- reading examples, which are in an appendix at the back. The use of grade exams offers the student an opportunity to build on performance skills which in turn will generate greater confidence, as well as providing an assessment of the student’s musical development. We hope to see you enjoying your music in the years to come with the RIAM. Very best wishes, Brendan Breslin Head of RIAM Connect 2 RIAM Brass Exam Syllabus 2019 User Guide for RIAM Exams Useful tips to help prepare for your Examination Each area of the eXamination serves a purpose, and plays an important role in developing a well rounded musician. Listed below are a few useful tips, aimed at helping the teacher /candidate to understand the reasons behind each area of the eXamination, and how to improve on those areas. Pieces The first mission is to choose pieces to suit each candidate, and both student and teacher should have input into this task. From the teacher’s perspective it is important to choose pieces that will develop the technique of the student but will also show off the students’ ability to their best advantage. From the student’s perspective it is important to choose pieces that they like, as this will encourage more dedication at practice time! The early stages of learning a piece are hugely important, and while note learning can be a slow and arduous task it is essential to learn the correct notes and rhythm from the very start. Slow and careful practice is strongly encouraged to begin, gradually building up the tempo over time. Once the basics are in place, the musical detail can be introduced little by little. It should be noted that some music editions do not offer much detail by way of dynamic markings or phrase marks, but all music should have shape and colour to enhance the character of the work. Always look at the composer and title of the piece – this will always give an indication of how the piece should sound. Listening to a recording of the pieces will also inspire musical ideas! It is important to practise playing the pieces through without stopping – it is not necessary to restart the piece because of a small slip, and this can become a bad habit – always try to keep going! It is a very good idea to play through the pieces for family or friends prior to the eXamination, as this can really help to build confidence. For instrumentalists and singers it is essential to practice with the accompanist, to be familiar with the accompaniment part and all the entries. Scales Quite often students tend to underestimate the benefits of learning scales, and do not enjoy practising them, but there are many reasons for practising scales, and huge advantages, for eXample: • They help to develop a sense of key • They help to develop rhythmic patterns • For all instrumentalists they help to develop finger fluency and co-ordination • For string players they help to develop bow control and key patterns • For singers and wind players they help to develop breath support and phrasing Regular practice is advised – this does not mean that every scale has to be practised every day - better to concentrate on a few scales at a time (select different keys each time you practise). The eXaminer will be listening out for a fluent pace with clear rhythmic patterns, good tone and articulation (where appropriate) and finger clarity throughout. 3 User Guide Sight-Reading Students tend to have a dread of sight-reading - an unfamiliar piece of music is placed on the music stand and almost instantly the room is filled with a sense of panic! Like all other areas of musical learning, this skill can be easily improved, and will help to develop a quick understanding of rhythmic motifs, note patterns, key signatures, accidentals, and ultimately will be an aid to faster learning. To be successful at sight-reading does not necessarily mean a note-perfect account of a piece – the aim of sight-reading is to give “an impression” of how the piece should sound. With this in mind, the eXaminer will be listening for a sense of continuity. A cautious reading, where the candidate pauses to ponder over the neXt notes can only result in a hesitant attempt, with no real sense of how the notes fit into phrases, or how the phrases make up a piece of music. Always look ahead and keep the piece moving along with a steady pulse for best results. Again, this area can only improve with practice – a few bars every day will make all the difference! The Let’s Get Reading sight-reading books for piano are written by Jean Archibald and Marie Moran and offer a step-by-step guide to learning how to sight-read well. These books are available from Preliminary level to Senior Certificate, and are eXtremely useful books for both teachers and students as a guide to successful sight-reading. They also include sample sight- reading tests at the back of each book. For other instrumentalists, we are working on sample sight-reading tests which will be available on our website www.riam.ie – this is still work in progress but we hope to have some of the main instruments completed in the near future. Theory Knowledge and understanding of theory will equip any candidate with the necessary tools to display a well thought-out performance of their pieces. Notes, rests, rhythmic values, time signatures and key signatures provide the “nuts and bolts” of basic learning; eXpression markings allow us to lift the notes off the page and create colour and shape, adding character and style to the music. If you do not understand the meaning of the theoretical details and eXpression markings, this makes it rather difficult to portray in performance – this area is worth five marks in the eXamination. The publication Music Workout by Jean Archibald and Bernadette Marmion is a series of theory workbooks based on the syllabus of Theory eXaminations. Each workout (Preparatory to Grade 8) includes detailed eXplanatory notes. This material also provides useful preparation for the ‘reading’ elements of the Aural Tests programme (practical music eXaminations). The Theory Requirements listed on pages 14 and 15 should be studied carefully for each grade, as there are some changes and advancements to this new syllabus. For eXample, candidates will be encouraged to describe the character of the pieces performed (Grades II and III), and will be asked to describe the style of the pieces performed (Grades IV and V). 4 RIAM Brass Exam Syllabus 2019 Aural Tests The key to developing a strong sense of musicianship is through listening. Having an awareness of melodic shape, rhythmic pattern and musical phrasing can undoubtedly lead to a higher level of performance. With this in mind, the function of the Aural Tests is to establish a stronger connection between listening and performing, to help candidates build on all aspects of their musical learning. These tests have been carefully constructed, to ensure a gradual development in ear training from the earliest grades right through to Senior Certificate level. Up to Grade V, the Aural Tests focus on four main areas: Listening, Memory, Rhythm and Sight-Singing. From Grade VI onwards the requirements for Aural and Theory are combined. The full details for each grade are listed from pages 10 to 13 in the syllabus. For Sight-Singing, it is important to note that candidates are not assessed on the quality of their voice.

Killian, Keith G. Dye, and Jeremy J. Buckner Texas Tech University Peer teaching is a time-honored method of practicing teaching skills prior to entering a classroom. Traditionally, a pre-service educator teaches an assigned lesson and the instructor gives feedback regarding lesson content and structure (Fuller & Brown, 1975). Drawbacks of peer teaching include the fact that peers often can perform the content of the lesson; thus the pre- service teacher does not get accurate feedback nor does he/she practice error-detection skills because the “students” do not make errors on familiar material.

  • Music History Education Music History
    Music History Education Music History Education in Ontario Elementary Schools By Georgia Gianarakos A research paper submitted in conformity with the requirements For the degree of Master of Teaching Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto Copyright by Georgia Gianarakos, April 2016 Music History Education 2 Abstract This study investigates how a small sample of elementary music educators design meaningful lessons that include music history as a component of their music education pedagogy. The subject area of music is one where pre-service teacher education, school board supports, and professional development is greatly lacking, which directly results in the sparse teaching of music history education. Consequently, the goal of this research inquiry was to investigate and improve upon the current pedagogy surrounding the teaching of music history in Ontario elementary schools by compiling information on best practice methods. A qualitative research approach was used and data was collected through semi-structured interviews. Findings report that the successful integration of music history education at the elementary level depends on the teacher’s knowledge and expertise in the subject area of music. When music history education is taught in a context-specific way and is directly related to what is being learned in the music classroom, students can respond positively to the content being taught. It was also discovered that inviting musical experts into the classroom is an effective way for an inexperienced music teacher to expose students to different types of music, musical cultures, and the history of those cultures. Key Words: Music History Education, Music Specialist, Professional Music Teacher, Generalist Music Teacher, Culturally Responsive Music Pedagogy, Ontario Music Curriculum.

  • PIANO PEDAGOGY for FOUR- and FIVE-YEAR-OLDS: an ANALYSIS of SELECTED PIANO METHODS for TEACHING PRESCHOOL CHILDREN by PAULA M. T
    PIANO PEDAGOGY FOR FOUR- AND FIVE-YEAR-OLDS: AN ANALYSIS OF SELECTED PIANO METHODS FOR TEACHING PRESCHOOL CHILDREN by PAULA M. THOMAS-LEE (Under the Direction of Harriet Hair) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to analyze nine early childhood piano methods designed for teaching the beginning four- to five-year-old piano student and to determine whether or not they included the elements which researchers and practitioners deem necessary for an age-appropriate comprehensive music program. The research questions examined in this study were 1) to determine which methods are currently available for teaching piano to the younger child; 2) to determine whether or not these programs include the age- appropriate elements that researchers consider essential for early childhood musical development such as playing instruments (the piano), singing, moving, creating, and aural skills development; 3) to determine the variety of styles of repertoire found in each series; and 4) to determine whether or not parental involvement was discussed in these methods. Criteria for selecting preschool piano methods were methods which 1) were specifically designed for the four- and five-year-old beginning student; 2) were currently in print; 3) and were recommended in James Bastien’s (1988) How to Teach Piano Successfully and Marienne Uszler’s (2000) The Well-Tempered Keyboard Teacher. Thus, the methods which met these criteria were Music for Little Mozarts (1999-2000) by Barden, Kowalchyk, and Lancaster, Invitation to Music (1993-1994) by Jane, Lisa, and Lori Bastien, Prep Course for the Young Beginner (1988-1989, 1993) by Palmer, Manus, and Lethco, Piano for the Young Beginner (1987) by James Bastien, Sing and Play (1987) by Collins and Clary, Music Readiness Series (1984) by Glover, Glasscock, and Stewart, Mainstreams Primer Method (1977) by Cory, Music for Moppets (1971)and Kinder-Keyboard (1977) by Robert and Helen Pace, and The Very Young Pianist (1970, 1973) by Jane Smisor Bastien.

  • Automatic Music Classification with Jmir
    Automatic Music Classification with jMIR Cory McKay Music Technology Area Department of Music Research Schulich School of Music McGill University, Montreal Submitted January 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. © Cory McKay 2010 2 Abstract Automatic music classification is a wide-ranging and multidisciplinary area of inquiry that offers significant benefits from both academic and commercial perspectives. This dissertation focuses on the development of jMIR, a suite of powerful, flexible, accessible and original software tools that can be used to design, share and apply a wide range of automatic music classification technologies. jMIR permits users to extract meaningful information from audio recordings, symbolic musical representations and cultural information available on the Internet; to use machine learning technologies to automatically build classification models; to automatically collect profiling statistics and detect metadata errors in musical collections; to perform experiments on large, stylistically diverse and well-labelled collections of music in both audio and symbolic formats; and to store and distribute information that is essential to automatic music classification in expressive and flexible standardised file formats. In order to have as diverse a range of applications as possible, care was taken to avoid tying jMIR to any particular types of music classification. Rather, it is designed to be a general-purpose toolkit that can be applied to arbitrary types of music classification. Each of the jMIR components is also designed to be accessible not only by users with a high degree of expertise in computer-based research technologies, but also by researchers with valuable musical expertise, but perhaps less of a background in computational research.
